What does "boxed solution" mean?

[gercam]

I have been speaking to someone re my site and they said they build websites that are a boxed solution and with regard to SEO you cannot build on them.
Can anyone tell me what this means and is this something that should be kept away from? Thanks

It sounds liks it's an off-the-shelf web design package rather than a custom built site.
The problem with a lot of these packages is that they are limited in what you can change on-page, which isn't good for SEO

Yes I think it is off the shelf - just didn't know what it meant re SEO. Thanks for your help
